MURFREESBORO Concerns about drug trafficking and shootings in a Murfreesboro neighborhood helped the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office's Narcotics Division disrupt a drug ring, Sheriff Robert Arnold said Friday.

"Whenever a citizen calls and makes a complaint of possible illegal drug trafficking going on in their neighborhood, the Sheriff's Office will look into the complaint. We will investigate and will try to arrest everyone involved in illegal drug trafficking. We want to rid our community of the illegal drugs which tear at the fabric of our community," Arnold said in a release.
